John Podesta Twitter account HACKED!

The Twitter account belonging to John Podesta, the chairman of
Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, appears to have been briefly
hijacked Wednesday afternoon.

A now-deleted tweet posted to the
account announced that Podesta had switched allegiance and encouraged
his followers to vote instead for Donald Trump, Clinton's Republican
rival in the US election. The tweet was quickly deleted but not before it was retweeted 195 times.
It
wasn't clear who was behind the apparent hack. Representatives for the
Clinton campaign did not immediately respond to a request for more
information on the matter.
Podesta was a frequent figure in headlines last weekend after controversial website WikiLeaks published what appeared to be emails
from a private account belonging to Podesta. The emails, which have not
been confirmed as authentic, contain what seem to be excerpts from paid
speeches Clinton gave to Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street firms.
